Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 75-77 Kissling Street, located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908 and currently owned by Sally Larsen. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its history, including a complete reroofing in 2005 costing $6,521, and an attempted window replacement project in 2003 involving eight windows at the front of the building, for which permits were obtained but had subsequently expired. This window replacement project was initially documented through a building complaint for unauthorized work in September 2003, though the violation was abated within weeks.

In recent years, particularly in 2016, there were two complaints regarding improper paint scraping work and lack of containment measures, though these were also resolved. The building and its immediate surroundings have experienced various maintenance and safety issues typical for the urban area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in the past year, including reports of graffiti, human/animal waste on streets, and bicycle lane blocking incidents. Between 2022 and 2023, there were several instances of graffiti (most recently noted in November 2023), three reports of human/animal waste (two in 2022 and one in October 2023), and multiple complaints about vehicles blocking bicycle lanes. However, these recent incidents appear to be more related to the street area around the building rather than the building itself. The property's documented permit and violation history suggests generally responsive management to compliance issues when they arise, though there have been instances of work being performed without proper permits or notification.

Risk rating

How 75-77 Kissling St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
56th percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 189 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.7%
Moderate concern 13.1%
Severe concern 9.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
